People Died, And Clinton Lied (And Lied, And Lied) *Open Thread*

Sunday night, CBS ran an interview on “60 Minutes” with one of the survivors of the Benghazi terror attack. This interview is on the lips of many around the country, and is substantiating what many of us have known all along: Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton lied through her TEETH about what happened there, and did so repeatedly. She then threw a hissy fit when being questioned by the US Senate, and infamously proclaimed, “What difference at this point does it make?!” Well, it made a lot of difference THEN, and it makes a lot of difference now. (Oh, and I suppose it goes without saying that she was not the only one lying her rear end off. So was her boss, President Obama.)

Without further ado, below is the entire “60 Minutes” investigation with Lara Logan:

How brave of this survivor, “Morgan Jones” (not his real name), a security officer, to come forward, and how sad that it takes bravery and courage to come forward to discuss what really happened in Benghazi. I truly hope this will embolden other survivors of that terror attack to come forward and speak their truth about what happened that fateful day.

This is just a heartbreaking expose to watch. To see our dedicated servants, Woods and Hicks, speak about how hard they tried to get our leaders to pay attention, to make changes in light of other terror attacks, and to provide more security and have all that fall flat, just moved me to tears.

Not only did people die there, and needlessly so, but that fateful day marked a major turning point in how this nation treats those serving in harm’s way. Never before would we leave people behind in the midst of a fight. Never before would we refuse to try and render aid and military might to those in the midst of a firefight when they were begging for help. Never before has a deaf ear, or bind eye, been turned toward those serving our nation on that level, ESPECIALLY when adequate warning of an attack had been given.

That point is addressed by Rep. Michael McCaul, Chairman of the Homeland Security Committee in the following interview from Monday morning:

Chairman McCaul makes a lot of good points in this interview, including how not only has no one been brought to account for this attack, but no rewards have been offered. That is yet another break in the traditional MO of how this nation operates, and not a good one by any means.

One can only hope that the “60 Minutes” expose will finally bring some kind of justice for the families of the victims. They have suffered long enough with the lies and dissembling by this Administration.

And hopefully, former Sec. Clinton will also be held accountable for both her POLICIES which enabled this terror attack to occur, and for the numerous lies she has spewed since then. It is far, far past time.

That’s what is on my mind this morning. How about you? This is an Open Thread.

Exactly. That is what makes the interview with “Morgan Jones” so incredibly disturbing. Not only did he have to take on an assumed name, but he is the ONLY one of those folks who have been brave enough to speak out. It should NOT Have to be an act of bravery and courage, as I noted, to speak the TRUTH abt being on the receiving end of a terrorist attack.

As well it should. NO ONE should be forced to pay for abortions against their beliefs/will. Those who support them can give their money to PP, but they shouldn’t expect others to do so unwillingly or against their expressed wishes.

This goes for Obamacare, too, which seems to have gotten that back in there somehow…

This is the dumbest excuse around….What this says is that Obama is such a poor leader that he heard nothing saw nothing and knew nothing …..If someone is a good leader they are not in the dark..they know it all.

How can he conclude that Panetta “is not a bad man”? If he dissembled and evaded telling the truth abt what happened that night, that does not exactly make him a GOOD man in my book. He has had every opportunity in the WORLD to speak out. He shouldn’t have to be under oath and asked just the right question to do so. But he has not. So, yeah, not to quibble or anything, but Panetta went along with the BS of this Administration.

Thank you Amy for another well written post…
I was literally screaming at the TV last night while I watched 60 minutes, actually screaming and crying that out nation had come to this…
How can so many people in our nation let this and all the other scandals just keep being swept under the carpet.
Just because Obama is black is No longer and should never have been a viable excuse.
There is NOTHING that any other past president did that EXCUSES how the Obama administration mishandled Benghazi during, immediately after and now!
It is NOT a matter of who did it or said what, but how all the events surrounding Benghazi were handled before, during and after the attack.
The Real Benghazi Truth Matters for many many reasons, especially after all the intentional lies told by Obama’s administration for not only hours, or days but for weeks. (Remember Obama’s October 11th Debate?)
The Real Benghazi Truth Matters so that Americans can have a real closure on why Obama did and said all the untruths he did (Is there even more to Benghazi, like it being a Middle Eastern “Fast and Furious “or worse?)
The Real Benghazi Truth Matters so that we can just maybe find some trust in our federal governmental administration for once.
The Real Benghazi Truth Matters so that the families and friends of the Benghazi victims will know the Real Truth of why Stevens, Smith, Doherty & Woods died (Yes these were people with names).
The Real Benghazi Truth Matters so that steps are taken to ensure that our government NEVER EVER does it again to any of our American citizens here or abroad.

There are so many problems with what this Administration has done in Benghazi (among other issues). It is just astonishing, though what these families have had to endure is major, as is the knowledge for those in service to the country knowing now the country does NOT have their back.

I might add, as Kimberly Guilfoyle pointed out, the CBS report did not cover anything that Fox has not been reporting ever since this happened. But people will FINALLY pay attention because its CBS. Typical…

And how is it that the president can continue to make changes to existing law WITHOUT THE LEGISLATURE?!?!? He cannot, that’s how. It doesn’t matter what HE says, it is supposed to be what CONGRESS says.
